My extended family of Yanks stayed for a week in June. All of us had a wonderful time and the comfortable atmosphere and appointments of the helped that immensely. Since we had the whole house reserved, we explored all the rooms. There was plenty of room for all of us to be reasonably private in our own rooms. Some rooms have in-room bathrooms some are shared, so what?? I am with family, and we all make it work.
The kitchen had everything we needed in terms cooking, dishware, and various utensils. The two dishwashers were a nice touch. There are two refrigerators in the kitchen and some freezers across the hall. I think our favorite room was probably the Snooker room. There is a full-size snooker table with plenty of space beyond the table so you aren't bumping cues into walls. There is also a TV room, sitting room, formal dining room, breakfast room, and few other rooms on the main floor. By the time we were done we had explored every room in the place other than the on-site caretaker's area. The grounds are also very well kept. For us the location was perfect, not far from Dunkeld and A9. There are probably grocery stores handy in Dunkeld to meet many needs, but we wound up going to Tesco in Blairgowerie (20 min easy drive). All of the extended family had a brilliant time. {note to google maps users coming from Dunkeld....drive past the very last left off A984 unless you want a really 'scenic' route. Go almost to the Stenton House, and there will be a much nicer left turn to take}
